DRIVE
It’s only on this ‘great’ list because I feared hipsters would ‘occupy’ me if I didn’t include it.

In truth, the trailer has all the good parts. The rest of the movie is art house bullsh**.

IRON MAN
Yes, the movie was awesome. But I think The Onion stated this best “Wildly Popular ‘Iron Man’ Trailer To Be Adapted Into Full-Length Film”

WATCHMEN
Zach Snyder (who usually has terrible music choice except for this Radiohead bit) is the best movie trailer director in Hollywood. Suck it Michael Bay.

TRUE GRIT
The moment Johnny Cash starts playing you know the full movie could never be as awesome.

CRASH
They didn’t have a Best Trailer category so they gave it Best Picture. I get that.

THE HANGOVER
Yes the (first) movie was great, but this is trailer is comedy perfection. Seriously, give it another view.

GREEN LANTERN (fan trailer)
Sometimes a fan made trailer is better than the real trailer… and the movie. Rare, but awesome. And Nathan Fillian doesn’t hurt at all.

THE SHINING
Seriously Mr. Kubrik? You just did for trailers what Apple’s ‘1984’ ad did for advertising: YOU SET THE BAR TOO F**KING HIGH
